Beckham you could easily imagine living in Spain or France, but Rooney and his missus?
I don't see it. Rooney is from the north.
I also don't see the point of moving to a London club if it is a fresh challenge and new start he's after.
No, I think this is just about making the maximum paycheck he can while he is still important to United's success. In which case Rooney will get paid and stay.
If the club think Van Persie and Kagawa and Chicharito are enough. Or if they can get a Cavani or a Lewandowski to come to United, then they may tire of Rooney's demands and show him the door.
Personally I don't begrudge Rooney earning as much as he can while he still has a career. On the pitch he has always been willing to put a shift in wherever the manager played him. He has so much experience at the club, and he is a nice lad when he isn't listening to his agent's advice. Plus, form is temporary, class is permanent.
Hoping Rooney stays.
